Fun in the Sun: Your Guide to a Safe and Amazing Arkansas Summer


Summer Fun in Arkansas

Summer in Arkansas is a time to soak up the sunshine, explore the beautiful outdoors, and create lasting memories. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, a nature lover, or just looking for some family-friendly fun, The Natural State has something for everyone.


Dive into Adventure:


  • Hit the Rivers: Arkansas boasts an incredible network of rivers, perfect for kayaking, canoeing, or white-water rafting. Take a scenic float trip down the Buffalo National River, navigate the exciting rapids of the Lower Illinois River, or explore the hidden coves of Lake Ouachita. Some other popular Arkansas rivers for summer adventures include the Mulberry River, the Little Red River, and the Eleven Point River.

  • Hike and Bike: Lace up your boots and explore the stunning trails of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Petit Jean State Park offers breathtaking overlooks, while Pinnacle Mountain State Park provides a challenging climb with panoramic city views. For cyclists, the Razorback Regional Greenway offers a paved path stretching over 36 miles.

  • Go Underground: Delve into the fascinating world of Arkansas's caves. Marvel at the stalagmites and stalactites at Blanchard Springs Caverns, or take a guided tour through the historic Cosmic Cavern.


Lakes for Summer Fun:


Arkansas is home to a multitude of beautiful lakes, perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing on the shore. Here are some of the best lakes to enjoy during the summer:


  • Cooling Off:  DeGray Lake, Lake Catherine, Lake Charles, Dardanelle Lake, Lake Ouachita, Village Creek, Woolly Hollow State Park, Crowley's Ridge State Park, and Jacksonport on the White River all offer sandy beaches or swimming areas ideal for beating the heat.

  • Boating Paradise:  Bull Shoals Lake, Norfork Lake, Beaver Lake, Greers Ferry Lake, and Table Rock Lake are all popular destinations for boating, water skiing, and jet skiing.

  • Angler's Dream:  For fishing enthusiasts,  Lake Ouachita (known for its largemouth bass and stripers), Bull Shoals Lake (renowned for its trout fishing), and DeGray Lake (home to a variety of fish species) are must-visit destinations.


Keeping it Safe Under the Sun:


Summer fun can sometimes take a turn. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable Arkansas summer:


  • Be Sun Smart: Apply sunscreen liberally and reapply often, especially after swimming or sweating.

  • Stay Hydrated:  Arkansas summers are hot and humid. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration.

  • Know Your Limits: Don't overdo physical activities, especially in the heat. Take breaks and listen to your body.

  • Be Water Wise: When enjoying the lakes and rivers, always wear a life jacket and be aware of currents.
